Square-Enix’s latest trailer takes a break from storytelling and investigates more closely the changes made to the battle mechanics. The video highlights the well-known Active Time Battle (ATB) system made famous in previous Final Fantasy titles. Paradigm Shifts allow the user to adjust combat roles mid-battle and the all-new Cinematic Action sequences add interaction and variety to the beautiful fight sequences that the series is renowned for. This is the first in a series of new gameplay videos, so stay tuned for the next installment.
